A Slight Introduction...

Hello, my name is Joey Pinkney. I was lucky enough to be invited to blog with the rest of the crew for reasons I don't fully understand. But I'm thankful none-the-less...

I wanted to give y'all (I'm from Tennessee) a little heads up about me, so you are not thrown off by my posts. No, they won't be junk. I just refuse to blog about what everyone else is blogging about.

I started my blog out of sheer anxiousness to have a web presense. I love Hip-Hop, so why not blog about that. I always have an opinion. I think I'm witty...

I wanted that blog to be about how the media watches Hip-Hop. Then I noticed everybody was doing that, and doing it well. So I started to search for links to things I found interesting, but had a Hip-Hop slant. I also wanted to cover Hip-Hop in other parts of the world besides: New York, L.A., Chicago...you know.

Now, like most bloggers, life has kicked in. I'm sitting out of grad school for a semester or two, so my graduate assistantship is no longer paying my to blog. (I'm at work now!) Got married, got 2 (new) kids, and need to get a real profession - "Professional Student" ain't footin' my family bills!

Being invited to join this family of Hip-Hop Bloggers is an honor, and a blessing... So, if you see something that a little off centered, rest assured it's intentional.

Thank you, Hashim. You are the "proverbial" man!

Joey, it's funny that I'm trying to quit my job and become a "professional student" before I get *stuck* with a wife and kids.

I'm embarrassed to say it but I'm hoping that once I become unemployed I'll have more time to blog, listen to music, and read the news. I'm a media junkie.
